Mrs. Sheets had ligaments torn
loose in the back of her neck, was cut
about the face, and ribs were
cracked. She is otherwise -bruised.
Mr. Sheets was thrown forward
over the steering wheel and was unconscious for some time after the accident. So tight a grip did John have
on the wheel that it was necessary to
pry his fingers loose. The wheel was
smashed.
Thought John Was Dead
John's right leg was injured and
the blow on his head laid him out so
stiff that it was thought for a few
minutes he was dead.

MORE PUPILS COMING
WHEN SCHOOLS OPEN
One of North Canton's substantial
citizens was 72 years of age on Sunday, August 9, but he neither looks
nor acts like one who has passed so
many milestones on the highway of
life. He was born in Chillicothe, Ohio,
in 1853, antl he has been employed by
W. H. Hoover for 45 years, and
we'll wager they have been years of
faithful service. In fact we have no
\hesitancy in saying that the Boss
could write a splendid recommendation for August Hess if the latter decided to go elsewhere and "grow"
with a new town. But perish the
thought of his leaving!
Any place, large or small, would be
proud to carry August Hess on its
voting list. A gentleman always,
whose kindly smile softens when he
hears of any one in distress; a substantial citizen ever willing to do just
a little bit more than called upon; a
christian with a mind broad as the
world and tolerant of the views of
others, he is a credit to North Canton,
and The Sun takes this opportunity
of extending to him its heartiest congratulations upon his birthday and
trusts he will remain among us for
many years.
Gentlemen, the health of August
Hess, a renl man in every way and
one all of us love.

BOARD MEMBERS DILIGENT
A clever piece of detective work by
Police Officer P. F. Talley resulted in
finding the owner of a Ford roadster.
The facts as narrated to The Sun by
the owner of the car are as follows:
On May 29 in Cleveland, Harold
Sadler knocked down his cousin,
Lamar Clark, aged 38 years, and took
§445 in, money from him, his Ford
roadster and $75 wortlf of electrical
tools and supplies. On July 7 the car
was found on East Summit street,
North Canton, by Officer Talley. The
only way to trace the ownership was
through the number on the engine,
0,970,443. Mr. Talley wrote to thc
Ford Motor company in Detroit and
in reply the (Ford people gave him
the name of the Cataract Motor company of Cleveland. The Cataract company named Leonard Kondelka as the
owner of the car. He was communicated with and said he did own the
car, but had sold it to Lamar Clark.
Then Talley wrote to the Auto department of Ohio. They could find no
license.
Mr. Talley sent Clark a registered
letter and he came from Cleveland
and claimed the car. Clark said that
Sadler removed the license plate. He
was in Illinois for on June 2 Clark
received a bill from the Van Service
Station, Fairbury, Illinois, for $2.09
for gas. On the bill was written:
"Say: Shouldn't a fellow that was
good enough to help you have a pos
tal order for this $2.09."
What puzzles all concerned is that
after taking the car Sadler went out
to Illinois and was evidently on his
way back to Cleveland when the road
ster went wrong. But where is he
npw? The grand jury of Cleveland
has indicted him, said Clark. The latter has an. electric wiring shop at
7902 "Vineyard avenue, Cleveland. The
roadster was being repaired in Haak
& Kolp Bros, garage this week. Harold Sadler is 21 years of age and is
a resident of Cleveland.

ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By The Pastor]
The attendance last Sunday was
very satisfactory. Our Sunday-school
attendance was well above the four
hundred mark, and for the church
services the auditorium was well filled. Rev. Melvin E. Beck of Chicago
son of the pastor, preached the morning sermon, with his characteristic
force and clearness, and his effort
was manifestly appreciated. His
sister,furnished tHe special music for
the service. Her unassumed and soulful singing is always appreciated.
She will again sing for us next Sunday morning. The pastor will speak
on "The Child and the Covenant."
Rev. Melvin E. Beck, who last
winter for a while was helpless with
inflammatory rheumatism, had his
tonsils removed last Monday, as a
preventative of the reoccurrance of
that trouble. Dr. Frick did the work
very successfully, and at this time the
patient seems to be getting along
finely.
The announcements for the week
were: Sunday-school Board meeting
on Monday evening at 8:00; Consistory meeting on Wednesday evening
at 7:30; W. M. S. on Thursday evening at 7:30; the regular morning appointments for next Lord's Day.

Miss Mary Snyder Broke Her Leg In
Yosemite Valley, Calif.
It is nearing the time again when
we begin to think about the opening
of school. The Boards of Education
have been busy throughout the summer formulating plans and making
arrangements for putting them into
operation.
Especially is this true of the local
Board. With the building program on
hand they have been much concerned
with local school conditions. With the
addition last spring by the County
Board of the Apple Grove and Mt.
Pleasant districts to the North Canton district the local Board has had
its duties extended. These schools as
well as the village school must he
taken care of.
Improvements At Mt. Pleasant
At Mt. Pleasant extensive improvements have been made. With the
help of the patrons of that school a
basement has been put under the
building in which an adequate heating system will be installed, replacing
the heater that was in the center of
the room. The building has been repainted inside and out. The patrons
of the school have graded the lot and
good walks are being placed around
the building.
Tec Apple Grove school is being
repaired and repainted inside and out.
Attend North Canton School
The limits of the village district
have been extended to thc north line
of the Holl allotment, following an
extension of this line east and west
to the boundaries of the school district. All pupils south of this line
will attent the North Canton school.
Arrangements have been made
whereby all the 7th and 8th grade pupils of * both Apple Grove and Mt.
Pleasant district will attend the North
Canton school. This will give these
pupils a better school advantage as
well as provide a better opportunity
for the pupils of the first six grades
in those schools.
Gregory Zatkovich, aged nine years,
of Homestead, Pa., is. visiting his
uncle, the Rev. Ralph C. Kotheimer,
pastor of St. Paul's chujfeh. Gregory
is a polished little chap, and is named
after his father, a distinguished lawyer of Pittsburg. On Tuesday he visited The Sun office. ;i%
Readers of The Sun yfil) recall that
last year this newspapetfwas granted
permission by Leslie's to reproduce an
article concerning the bi$h of Rusinia
as a nation, and it was fhe father of
the lad now visiting 'im North Canton who left Pittsburg during the
signing of the treaty <rf peace and
induced President Wilson and the
diplomats of Europe to give Rusinia
a chance to break from 'Austria and
set up housekeeping for herself. The
world knows that the little republic,
which lies east of Czecho-Slovakia,
contains about one million people.
Became First President
Gregory Zatkovich, known as "The
Father of Rusinia," was so popular
that the industrious residents of that
country decided to elect him President, but as he was an American citizen and desirous of retaining his citizenship, he referred the whole question to Washington and the Secretary of State told him to go ahead
and get Rusinia going.
As the first President;, of that land
Gregory Zatkovich was-^a great success, and his gracious and talented
wife, who is Father Kotheimer's sister, showed the Old .World what an
American woman is cap&ble of doing
when placed in high position. Several years they remained there, and
against the unanimous' wish of the
people they returned to the United
States.
Rusinia Is Flourishing
Rusinia is flourishing and will continue to flourish, thanks to the ability
of an American lawyer whose deeds
in the years to come will be honored
by monuments erected .in the little
republic by a grateful people in recognition of the unselfish service he rendered to make them an independent
nation.
And looking at the manly little chap
as he stood in The Sun office the
thought flashed through',the mind,
"Some day he may, seejj"§e., fruits of
his parents' labor in thatTSn^o'ff land."

Two musical numbers rendered on
the piano by Miss* Alta Gillette of
Omaha, Nebraska, a musician of note,
who teaches musicians how to teach
music, was much appreciated by the
Ladies' Literary club members on
Monday evening. Miss Gillette and
her mother are house guests of their
relative, Mrs. J. J. Snyder, and were
guests of the club hostess, Mrs. Harley Price, at this regular meeting
Miss Gillette played Valcek by Nok-
jers and the Japanese Study by Pol-
dini.
Several Papers Read
Mrs. L. G. Schrantz read a paper on
"Marconi" and Mrs. M. M. Young
gave facts regarding the "Radio in
Polar Regions" and Mrs. R. C. Willigmann told "How Radio Is Remaking our World."
Roll call was answered by naming
Modern Inventions. The hostess
served a fine luncheon.
Fully 600 men, women and children
attended the annual outing of St..
Paul's parish on Sunday afternoon at
the Marquette club grounds, southeast of town. Everyone pronounces
it "a wonderful day," and what everyone says is so must be so.
A picnic dinner of substantial proportions was the first act on the program, after which the fun began in
which the youngsters found plenty to
do. Local merchants donated prizes.
One consisted of a $5 gold piece to go
to the largest family on the grounds.
There were three contenders for the
honor. John Wiley swelled with pride
as surrounded by nine members he
smilingly awaited the verdict of the
judges. But the old adage about the
cup and the lip came to the front, and
up stepped Henry Schneider. He, too,
was the proud possessor of nine. Mr.
Rothermel of Hartville threw a scare
irto both Wiley and Schneider when
he brought up his forces, but on a
count—or was it a recount ?—it was
found that the Tribe of Rothermel
numbered but eight. The other members were at home in Hartville. The
result was that the money was divided
between Schneider and Wiley.
Horseshoe Champions
A horseshoe game for the championship of the parish resulted in Raymond Scharver and Tom Scheetz winning the title.
The tug-of-war between the Hicks
and Factory men went to the factory.
So far as the Hicks were concerned
they were away off, the Factory pulling them all over the lot. Charles
Sumser captained the F's and John
Wiley the H's.
As the sun began to sink beneath
the west a tired but happy crowd
wended its way homeward, satisfied
that the outing was the best in the
history of the parish.

A clever piece of detective work by
Police Officer P. F. Talley resulted in
finding the owner of a Ford roadster.
The facts as narrated to The Sun by
the owner of the car are as follows:
On May 29 in Cleveland, Harold
Sadler knocked down his cousin,
Lamar Clark, aged 38 years, and took
§445 in, money from him, his Ford
roadster and $75 wortlf of electrical
tools and supplies. On July 7 the car
was found on East Summit street,
North Canton, by Officer Talley. The
only way to trace the ownership was
through the number on the engine,
0,970,443. Mr. Talley wrote to thc
Ford Motor company in Detroit and
in reply the (Ford people gave him
the name of the Cataract Motor company of Cleveland. The Cataract company named Leonard Kondelka as the
owner of the car. He was communicated with and said he did own the
car, but had sold it to Lamar Clark.
Then Talley wrote to the Auto department of Ohio. They could find no
license.
Mr. Talley sent Clark a registered
letter and he came from Cleveland
and claimed the car. Clark said that
Sadler removed the license plate. He
was in Illinois for on June 2 Clark
received a bill from the Van Service
Station, Fairbury, Illinois, for $2.09
for gas. On the bill was written:

What puzzles all concerned is that
after taking the car Sadler went out
to Illinois and was evidently on his
way back to Cleveland when the road
ster went wrong. But where is he
npw? The grand jury of Cleveland
has indicted him, said Clark. The latter has an. electric wiring shop at
7902 "Vineyard avenue, Cleveland. The
roadster was being repaired in Haak
& Kolp Bros, garage this week. Harold Sadler is 21 years of age and is
a resident of Cleveland.

ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By The Pastor]
The attendance last Sunday was
very satisfactory. Our Sunday-school
attendance was well above the four
hundred mark, and for the church
services the auditorium was well filled. Rev. Melvin E. Beck of Chicago
son of the pastor, preached the morning sermon, with his characteristic
force and clearness, and his effort
was manifestly appreciated. His
sister,furnished tHe special music for
the service. Her unassumed and soulful singing is always appreciated.
She will again sing for us next Sunday morning. The pastor will speak
on "The Child and the Covenant."
Rev. Melvin E. Beck, who last
winter for a while was helpless with
inflammatory rheumatism, had his
tonsils removed last Monday, as a
preventative of the reoccurrance of
that trouble. Dr. Frick did the work
very successfully, and at this time the
patient seems to be getting along
finely.
The announcements for the week
were: Sunday-school Board meeting
on Monday evening at 8:00; Consistory meeting on Wednesday evening
at 7:30; W. M. S. on Thursday evening at 7:30; the regular morning appointments for next Lord's Day.

It is nearing the time again when
we begin to think about the opening
of school. The Boards of Education
have been busy throughout the summer formulating plans and making
arrangements for putting them into
operation.
Especially is this true of the local
Board. With the building program on
hand they have been much concerned
with local school conditions. With the
addition last spring by the County
Board of the Apple Grove and Mt.
Pleasant districts to the North Canton district the local Board has had
its duties extended. These schools as
well as the village school must he
taken care of.
Improvements At Mt. Pleasant
At Mt. Pleasant extensive improvements have been made. With the
help of the patrons of that school a
basement has been put under the
building in which an adequate heating system will be installed, replacing
the heater that was in the center of
the room. The building has been repainted inside and out. The patrons
of the school have graded the lot and
good walks are being placed around
the building.
Tec Apple Grove school is being
repaired and repainted inside and out.
Attend North Canton School
The limits of the village district
have been extended to thc north line
of the Holl allotment, following an
extension of this line east and west
to the boundaries of the school district. All pupils south of this line
will attent the North Canton school.
Arrangements have been made
whereby all the 7th and 8th grade pupils of * both Apple Grove and Mt.
Pleasant district will attend the North
Canton school. This will give these
pupils a better school advantage as
well as provide a better opportunity
for the pupils of the first six grades
in those schools.
